Filmmakers & Movie Nerds Meetup #180

Sun, May 24, 3:00 PM
From Filmmakers & Movie Nerds
4.7

Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

After hopping across various Berlin venues, we’re thrilled to return to Saftladen for the second edition of *Level Up Your Folds*! Big shoutout to this non-profit (and a very *professional* one, mind you 🍊) indie game developer collective for hosting us again – couldn’t ask for a better creative playground! 👾 Food or snacks for sharing during the origami session are very welcome, so bring them on! Here's an overview of what you could expect * **Special format of 2x presentation** by our beloved origami masters, followed by **guided collective folding of a model** of their choice! * **Mandatory donation** (amount of your choice) – this supports essential costs like the Meetup subscription and keeps our community thriving 🌱 You can either submit a **physical donation** to the event host in person or make a **digital donation** **[here](https://paypal.me/origamiberlin?locale.x=de_DE&country.x=DE)** (and inform the host afterwards). * In-person folding practice for all levels – beginners and experienced folders are equally welcome. * Origami paper + model instructions will be provided (from the host’s collection, for reference only). Feel free to bring your own favorite sheets or tools! * Photos may be taken for memories & our archive (Meetup, Instagram, Telegram) – let the host know if you prefer not to appear. * **We kindly encourage everyone to buy at least one drink (€2 each) to support [Saftladen](https://saftladen.berlin/) for hosting us!** ⚠️ **RSVP Policy – Please Read** ⚠️ Our community has grown a lot since its birth in August 2024, which is amazing — but it also means we need to handle RSVPs more carefully: * RSVP opens **7 days before** each event (apart from short-notice events) and closes at **noon on the event day**. * Please cancel your spot or contact the host directly (via Meetup message function or our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/+T4URs80l2ig3NWNi)) by **noon on the event day** if you can't make it last minute. * Members with **2 no-shows** (without notice) will be removed from the group unless a valid reason is provided. Thank you for helping us keep our community respectful, reliable, and fun! 🙏 Get in touch if you have questions anytime and see you all at the folding tables very soon! 👾🍊

Do you love portrait photography? Need fresh portraits for dating apps, your business profile, or personal projects? If yes, join our new event format: **"Portray and Be Portrayed!"** **Event formula:** During this event, you'll experience both sides of the lens: **photographer and model**. ➔ Please only join if you're comfortable being photographed by other participants! * We will rotate roles so there is **only one active model** at a time. * You'll work in small groups of 3–5 people, each guided by an experienced portrait photographer from **The ISO Club**. * This format is inspired by our successful TFP (Time for Print) sessions. **Check out the reel from our first "Portray and Be Portrayed" event:** 🔗 [View Reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEXHaLhKFXc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) **Recommended process:** We recommend that you use [https://picflow.com/](https://picflow.com/) to cherry-pick photos between models and photographers. **Event location:** **Teufelsberg**, the iconic Cold War-era abandoned surveillance station in Grunewald, Berlin: 📍 [Google Maps Location](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mAeDKAaDwxN2rSwd7) 🌐 [Teufelsberg Website](https://www.teufelsberg-berlin.de/) **Entry fee:** 🎟️ **Entry to Teufelsberg costs €12**. You can purchase your ticket online or at the entrance on the day of the event. ## **New to this event:** There is a high chance that we will also invite TFP models to this event!

We recommend using [Picflow](https://picflow.com/) to streamline the photo selection and approval process. **This event will cost 5 EUR; you will find the necessary payment details on our Discord.** 🔗 [Join Our Discord](https://discord.gg/RAteAwHmMa) **Our Instagrams** [https://www.instagram.com/the_isoclub](https://www.instagram.com/the_isoclub) [https://www.instagram.com/_portraitscenter](https://www.instagram.com/_portraitscenter)
